Yellow flowers.

By: Thompson's Nursery

Tight trusses of bell-shaped, cream flowers with bright pink edges emerge from cerise colored buds. These, peppermint candy looking, flowers are not the only feature on this sweetie. The deep green, strongly veined, glossy foliage is accented with soft, tan indumentum below and a light dusting of white tomentum. This creates a wonderful contrast between the new, fuzzy, and older, smooth, growth.
